Guest Reviews
“ The staff here are so lovely and helpful and booked everything we needed and gave great advice. Great food too! We had a lovely stay here and highly recommend visiting the area. The national park is spectacular. Thanks to Tien from this accomodation for organising our night safari and early morning gibbon trek. ”
“ The park is great. Nature, animals and finally nearly no trash. We were lucky to see some animals (crocodiles, monkeys and birds). Don't forget to buy a ticket for the crocodile lake at the park entrance (245k/person). Expensive ... but we saw a lot of crocodiles :) We did a bike trip on our own. The road is a little bit bumpy on the very first kilometers, but after the intersection where you go into the direction of the crocodile lake it's absolutely fine. From the crocodile lake to the Ficus the road is much worse. I would always recommend renting some bikes outside of the park. The bikes in the park are old city-bikes, especially if you want to drive further than to the crocodile lake. The last 5 km to the lake you have to walk anyway. ”
“ I visited this national park in Sep few years ago. We took a bus from Mien Dong station to get there, you also can ride your motorbike. There are many activities you can experience here: rent bike to cycle around (we luckily saw a herd of bison grazing), hiking, visit wildlife rescue station, go on a nocturnal wildlife tour (not many things to see), stay in Crocodile Lake (Bau Sau). Personally, Bau Sau is the highlight of my trip. We rent a jeep (there is also bike for rent) to get to forest entrance, it is abt 10km from the visitor center, and then had 5km hiking through the forest to get to Bau Sau. Hiking was quite easy but there were a lot of leeches, mosquitos and insects in rainy season, but the weather was nice. We were the only group on that day. At night, we saw deers and crocodiles with lit up eyes. Delicious meals cooked by rangers. Fresh and cool air, foggy morning, gentle sunset, and a silent night. An unforgetable experience! ”
“ Exceptionally helpful staff, we communicated on WhatsApp before arrival and got much needed help for the transport. Very affordable, clean rooms, albeit small. Had everything we needed. Perfect location to explore Cat Tien National Park. We stayed for 2 nights, that was a good length for our stay. High quality bicycles where for rent for 100.000 a day, but it costs another 100.000 for the ferry to get to the national park. Breakfast (excl. drinks) was included, which we didn’t know, nice surprise. Restaurant was very good and affordable in general. Highly recommended to stay here if you want to visit Cat Tien. ”
“ Cat Tien National Park is just beautiful. We stayed for two nights. It was hot ..but it is hot everywhere. On the weekend lots of buses full of people come. If you want things a little more quiet come during the week. There are wonderful places to stay and great places to eat. We were very happy here on our way from Saigon to Da Lat. ”
